Morphology
The meaning 'a child or adolescent' is directly and transparently derived from combining the adjective 'young' (not old) with the noun 'person' (a human individual). This adjective+noun composition is a basic, cross-linguistically common pattern that a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand.
Etymology
Young person joins young (meaning 'not old') and person to make a simple image of someone still small and growing. That's why it is used to mean 'a child or adolescent' or someone 'not yet an adult'.
